Can I use it on a ceramic tile with acrylic paint? I planned to use Varnish on it, but I read an article suggesting to use Polyurethane instead of Var

I would not use this on ceramic as this is for wood products. I would suggest going to a hardware store and explain what you are doing. I know there is a stone and tile sealer out there, but I don't think this is it. hope this helps. steve

Not to be used on poly finish. I would not use it on varnished floors often. I use it to touch up varnish. I use it on my oil finished and plain floors.

You should do a test section on the plastic to see if it will bond to it. This glaze is intended for Sculpey or Fimo clay, but I have bonded these clays to surfaces such as canvass, wood, snow boards, skateboards and surfboards and it has always worked. But some plastics are really glossy and the glaze may not adhere to it...it will either peel off or come off easily if you scratch it with your nail. Another option if you are bonding the clay to plastic: use the Sculpey glaze on the clay parts only, then switch to using RUST-OLEUM Ultra Cover -GLOSS CLEAR (Home Depot) it bonds to most surfaces and looks the same as the Sculpey glaze, you will not see a difference. This combination has always worked for me. Good luck!

I am not sure what other people use, but I bake it, sand it, and spray it with Krylon clear acrylic spray. I believe that you can paint it with latex paints. I think you could find some good information on Utube and search Scupty. Another good idea is to do a Google search under the type of craft you are doing, or under the type of material you are using. Good luck. Things will probably be fine no matter what you use. I avoid any oil based paints because of unknown or bad chemical reactions with the clay.

Just make sure you seal it with a uv protectant type of polyurethane if you do. I stained and sealed mine without uv protection and had to go back and sand the entire thing and refinish, what a pain!

I used water based polyurethane and love it. I used the rustoleum brand in gloss (maybe it's called high gloss). I waited for the paint to completely dry for about a week, and then I applied 2 coats. It went on really easily and looks much better than it did without it. Also now the fridge is very easy to clean. There is not a single scratch or anything. I would highly recommend putting the polyurethane on. The water based poly doesn't smell, dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

Yes you can, I use acrylics all the time for painting models and other things =) I just thin them with water *depending on brand* to get the right consistency so paint will flow out with out spattering.

yes! definitely. I'd suggest something like acrylic that isn't water soluble, just for longevity. But painting on it works like a charm.

Not sure. We used it on granite. I believe it's for products that do not have a glaze or finish on them. If the tiles are pourus then you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes,you can. I use it on travertine tile and it does a fantastic job! I hope this is helpful!!

Perhaps it can I never thought about it. I think Krylon paints have developed a paint for vinyl products. Best of luck, What color did you want to paint it? I'm curious.

you can mix acrylic but it has to be oil based and not water based if it is water based it will become a clump so I do not recommend you do so As for how long it stays glowing that depends on the light source that you would have on it along with a UV light I do suggest that you get a black light/ uv light if you do not have oneI hope this is helpful to you good luck^-^

I wouldn't use it with varnish. You'd have to use turpentine to clean it and if you didn't get all the varnish out it would clog the jets.

I have no idea. You could thin a bit of it down and try. It is more consistency of acrylic paints.

Shireen, I primarily use mine with acrylics. The unit is light and very quiet. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

The surface you are using this on needs to be non-porous, or treated with a coat to make it non porous, or you run the risk of it fusing with the item. You could paint acryllic on it and peel, anything oil based will break down the mold in a few uses.

I haven't yet tried it over acrylic...Thanks for asking I will surely try this and see if it works better.
